We encourage you to scrap about yourself - to record your own story. We aren't very rule-oriented here - just keep in the spirit of the scrapbooking challenge!! Play for inspiration, you'll be amazed what you will learn about yourself ...

We are very excited to introduce Stephanie as our guest designer for July!!!

My name is Stephanie Schütze, a mixed media artist, scrapbooker, art
journaller with a passion for drawing. I live with my 2 sweet daughters and my
husband in Switzerland. I've been scrapping since 2008 and like that creative
work with paper. Later it turned more and more to mixed media. There are so many
possibilities for creativity and I love it! Actually I designed for the German
scrapbooking magazine "scrap-art-zine" and gave mixed media and scrapbooking
workshops.

Hello scrappers - we are having a design team call and are interested in your applications!! Please send a link to your blog so that we can see your creations. We ask our designers to visit the blogs of those who play our challenges and leave them some encouragement in the comments of their entry, and also to help in choosing two entries for each challenge to feature as our faves that month. We have two challenges a month to play along with - one is a prompt challenge and the other a sketch only challenge (without prompt).

I'd like to thank Monique Liedtke for being our guest designer last month. You gave us some awesome inspiration!! This month we are welcoming Karmeleiro as our guest designer.

Our challenge this time is:

June is a
popular month for weddings – how about scrapping yours?? If you have not
married, scrap a photo of you as a child and how you dreamed it would be for
you when you married. If that does not
suit you, then scrap your parents wedding, or someone close to you.

We also want to challenge you all to increase the numbers of people playing along with our challenges. More people playing along means more fun, more friends and more inspiration! So, if you convince a friend to play along in either of our challenges this month. tell them to let us know either in their blog posting or in a comment on this blog posting that you sent them to play along. Your name will be entered for each referral you send for a chance to win our guest designer spot. Yes, each referral you send is one more chance. And of course, each layout you enter in our challenges this month is one more chance at the guest DT spot.

The prize this month for the winner of our two challenges is a guest designer spot for the month of August. We will feature your work with the team and provide links back to your blog so that visitors can get a closer look at your work.
